Happy to answer them. No base choices are made available when accepting a class. The base position opening are not exactly made available until the first day of class. BUT the ANC carrot was dangled in front of me to accept the right-at-two-weeks Oct. 2 class. I was told that six out of eight in the class will be ANC based. No gaurantee after that. They do in-class seniority by age, so at 35 I would think I'd be in the top half.

I'm thinking of bidding the 747-400 in ANC, next year. Depends on what the reserve lines end up looking like. I would mind having a place up there, working one out of two weeks on reserve, and having two weeks off in Spokane. We'll see.

Wow...thats a change you once said that after your upgrade class you won't bid off the 75/76 for a very long time if ever because the class was tedious with all the info one had to learn in a short time. But congrads if you bid and get the 744!

--Yeah, and how much you wanna bet that it was all caused by some goddamn Cheechako at the front of the pack?

It'll be appropriate for a little while, I think...
